Step-by-step explanation:

When liquid in a container has a constant vapor pressure , it means that the vapor content of the liquid is constant. This further means that the rate of evaporation of liquid is equal to the rate of condensation.

Therefore, the relation between evaporation and consdensation,

rate of evaporation = rate of condensation.
